Eh, why aren't both packages actually built from the same source package
then? If they are two variants of the same package, they should be built
from the same source.

Since both packages are obsolete though, I don't think it's worth fixing
this now. Fwiw, I couldn't find any reverse depends on either of those
packages, not even in unstable, so why have these two packages in sarge
anyway?

See above, there are no reverse dependencies that I could find. Maybe
better just remove both?
